Acapulco Gold Lyrics by Shipwrecked Mind

Finally Free

2023

Preacher’s kid sittin’ in the choir
Singing loud and just off key
“Those eyes burn red,” Mary Bertha said
“And he smells suspiciously”
Zoned out, burning’ through the chorus
As The Spirit flows through me
Though the rumors spread
The Good Book says
To sing a song of jubilee
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been preachin’ that Gospel:
“Open your mind, it will set you free
And if you seek the Truth, the truth finds you
Eventually”
Southern Baptist, born and bred
But little did they know I’d grow up a head
Devil’s lettuce, Acapulco Gold
And now they’re sayin’ I done sold my soul
Traded in the Spirit for the rock and roll
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oooooh
I ain’t no friend of the Devil
But his friends are sometimes mine
And though I sing my songs about glory
I’m having a hell of a time
Sing His praises in the barroom
And the Lord’s house just alike
And I pray that the Lord might welcome me
As I’m glory bound in time
[Chorus]
Thinking through all my blessings
And how the Lord’s been good to me
In this land I love, this land I hate
And my opportunity
Been thinking ‘bout how He loves me
And by His blood I’ve been atoned
But J.C.’s right about Sundays
They’re better when you get stoned
[Chorus]
